RE: 6.42 Firepower Enhancement
"It comes down to how does the reader read/understand/interpret the sentence/paragraph structure used and what it says
But I contend this is NOT interpreting"
The reader interpreting the rules is not interpreting? That's a new one. Everything springs forth from this and why there is the disconnect. You keep reading more into the rules than are actually present, and your posting of the rules demonstrates this.
"units used here I contend again refers to the "unit, leader and group" subject which were activated and had actions assigned"
stuff like this. This is textbook examples of RAI instead of RAW.
"I do not read it the same way---I contend that the writing clearly is interpreted as I assess...your assertion that it's different
does not sustain examination (is my contention)...Thus there really is no variation --- the RAW and RAI are aligned..."
Like, clearly you are RAI'ing, while disregarding what is ACTUALLY in the rules text and what is not. Shad could say the same thing about his proposal and it would be equally applicable.
"the NEW VIEW interpretation creates, out of whole new cloth,
that leaders can do things, have a different mechanic, in the game--maintaining activation status, Marker placement, contributing factors
though action definition disallows it..."
Every one of your RAI is pulling something out of whole cloth. As its not actually in the text. They are just interpretations of the text. The text is silent about which minute moment the activation ends, but no one is saying they maintain activation status. Its entirely a conversation about WHEN the status is lost.
This post is closer to bridging the gap though, because it demonstrates what you are doing. And that is RAI. And RAI cannot overrule opposing RAI. RAW can, if you could point to a specific rule that says LEADERS must activate to move/to fire, and that a LEADER using its combat modifier is a to fire action. As you have posted essentially the entire applicable rule book now, and have not pointed out this line of text, nor have I found it, we are left to assume it does not exist. As there is no RAW to overule either RAI, both are valid until clarified by a rules arbiter.
